The popular game 'Flappy Bird' is returning to a smartphone near you.

The game's creator, Dong Nguyen, confirms he's bringing the game back.

Nguyen pulled the app from the official Google Play, Amazon and Apple App Stores earlier this year. He claimed on Twitter that the Internet sensation caused by the game had ruined his simple life and that he couldn't take it anymore.

'Flappy Bird' was downloaded more than 50 millions times before it disappeared.

Nguyen also claimed the original 'Flappy Bird' was "too addictive." He says the new version won't be.

The game will make its long-awaited return in August.
